Xichang is a place with beautiful scenery, with more than [-] sunny days every year, almost no foggy days, and a low latitude, it is an ideal launch site.

The Xichang Satellite Launch Center was first built in the 70s, and the original mission of this satellite launch center was to launch the Shuguang manned spacecraft.

After the first satellite of the Soviet Union was put into space, China also began to propose its own space plan. The first artificial satellite was put into space, and the music of Dongfanghong was played to the whole world, announcing that China would also have a place in the field of space.

The United States and the Soviet Union have carried out countless manned flights one after another. China is not far behind in this regard. In 67, the manned spacecraft project code-named Project 714 was officially launched, and the Xichang Satellite Launch Center , also began construction for this spaceship.

It's a pity that when the project was progressing smoothly, a campaign was launched, which delayed the entire project. Finally, the project was dismantled. The launch center was built for more than ten years, until 82. Put into use, launched the first geosynchronous satellite in 84.

Since economic construction was put in the first place, various high-tech projects were progressing slowly, and many military projects were forced to stop. At this time, funds from Iraq revived many projects.Moreover, when China's aerospace industry decided to enter the world's satellite launch market, no one cared about it, but Iraq immediately placed an order to jointly develop and launch Iraq's first satellite with China.

This launch has attracted the attention of many people. In the West, they are watching with cold eyes how the two sides will end up. They are dismissive of China's aerospace development.

However, Qusay is very confident.

This is Iraq's first reconnaissance satellite. After the satellite goes into space, it will be integrated into Iraq's C3I system to provide them with first-hand information.

This reconnaissance satellite uses photographic equipment obtained from Europe. In orbit, it has a resolution of eight meters. It uses equipment developed by Ousheng Electronics. After compressing the scanned image through software, when it flies over Iraq , transmitted back to the ground with an encrypted signal.Iraq has purpose-built ground control and receiving stations in preparation for the satellite.

If this satellite is successful, within two or three years, Iraq will launch several reconnaissance satellites one after another to achieve uninterrupted monitoring of the Middle East.

The Iraqi technical team fully participated in the entire process of the launch, which was in accordance with the agreement. This launch will also make the Iraqi technical team much more mature. They have seen the launch of a satellite for the first time. The process requires supporting various projects such as astronomy and climate, which is a systematic project.

And just when Xichang was preparing to launch a satellite, another place, the ancient city of Xi'an, was also preparing nervously. Their first self-developed new type of fighter-bomber completely deviated from the style of Soviet fighters. , is about to usher in the great moment of the first flight.

Chapter 963 Test Flight Hero

Inventing an airplane is nothing, building one is nothing, testing it is hard.This famous sentence is awe-inspiring.Because, it is.

An airplane has been rigorously designed and manufactured, and placed on the ground. Whether it can fly, and whether it can meet various design indicators after flying, requires people to test it. It's the no-go zone, the flight manual, written in the blood of test pilots.With a mature design organization, a professional flight test organization is also needed.

In order to meet the needs of national defense technology, in China, there is an air force test flight group, which is the only authoritative organization for new aircraft test flights.Soldiers in peacetime have far fewer opportunities to die for their country than in wartime.However, the test pilots of the test flight team have to accept the test of life and death in almost every ordinary flying day.

All countries have crashed their planes and killed test pilots when designing new planes. However, this does not make the test pilots back down, because it is their existence that makes this kind of plane successful and practical.

In the ancient city of Xi'an, in the Yanliang District in the northeast, there is a lot of people here today.

After several years of design, just today, they will release their own child, the first JH-7 fighter jet.

This fighter is one of the national key projects, but it has been difficult to produce several times. It has gone through more than ten years since the 70s, until the strong capital injection in Iraq has become a catalyst, allowing this fighter to speed up. , finally, ushered in the moment of the first flight.

More than 1 employees of Xi'an Aircraft Manufacturing Plant have a day off today, waiting for this exciting moment. The leaders of the Central-Central-Military-Commission, the State-State Council and the Navy also came to the scene to participate in the first flight ceremony.

Wearing a full set of flight suits and an integral flight helmet, Huang Bingxin stood on the lawn in front of the plane, and he was ready for the flight.

Huang Bingxin had already served as the head of the new aircraft test flight team last year, and has been following up the development progress of the JH-[-] and making preliminary preparations.

Because, if you want to be a test pilot, you must not only understand flying, but also understand the design and manufacture of aircraft. Only by knowing the specific design of this aircraft can you be as familiar with this aircraft as you are familiar with your own body. Then, When encountering a dangerous situation in the air, it is possible to judge the fastest and adopt the correct handling method to save the accident from crashing.

In the crowd, Zhou Guoxuan, the deputy political commissar of the flight test group, held a key in his hand, but there were tears in his eyes. Just before coming to the airport, Huang Bingxin handed him the key and told him that it was the key of the office drawer, and there was a key in it. A letter, it can also be said to be a suicide note, if it is honorable, then take out this letter.He has been flying for so many years, and this is the first time to write a suicide note, because this flight is too important and critical.

Zhou Guoxuan knew that Huang Bingxin's preparations were all necessary.Although domestic aircraft manufacturing has made considerable progress, and has successively designed a variety of aircraft, such as the J-21, J-[-], and Qiang-[-], these aircraft are all improved on the basis of the MiG-[-]. In other words, they have not yet designed a brand new aircraft, and the JH-[-] can be said to have created a new beginning in many fields.However, correspondingly, the danger inside will also increase exponentially.

However, Zhou Guoxuan didn't know that there were actually three sentences written in this suicide note: First, even if the flying leopard was sacrificed this time, it was worthwhile for the development of national defense; second, the money inside was the last party dues paid before the sacrifice; third, It is to ask the family members not to cause trouble to the organization... In this era, all people are shining with the light of the times. They are doing their best for the strength of the country, but they will not ask for anything.

When it was time for the first flight, Huang Bingxin strode into the cockpit, ready to prepare for takeoff. When he fastened his seat belt skillfully, the ground crew below also came up to help him.

Huang Bingxin didn't pay attention, but when he saw the wrinkled hands, he was stunned and looked up. It was the chief designer of the plane, Chen Yijian, who was seeing him off in person.

Their eyes met, and they both understood each other's meaning.

"Comrade Huang, please fly the plane I designed! Are you sure you can complete the mission?"

"Mr. Chen, I have been flying for many years, please believe me. As long as one of the two engines on the plane is running, even if all other instruments fail, I can guarantee to fly it back!"

The Iraqi personnel present were also watching this moving moment. They also knew very well that the test flight work is very dangerous, but it is also a hurdle that must be overcome.

President Qusay has already made a decision. After the successful development of this aircraft, the Iraqi side will also order the first batch of [-] aircraft to equip the Iraqi naval aviation unit, with the focus on sea combat.

Huang Bingxin and Chen Yijian held hands together, and Chen Yijian felt that Huang Bingxin's pulse was very high today, estimated to be one hundred and fourteen!

Yesterday, the high-speed runway rolling test was carried out, and today, the real take-off is carried out.

Close the canopy, start the two engines, and aim at the JH-[-] on the runway, ready to go.

"Boom!" A green silk flare went off into the air.

"Take off!" An order came from the tower.

Huang Bingxin released the brakes and at the same time applied the accelerator to the maximum. This was the first take-off, so he did not turn on the afterburner.

The two Spey engines imported from the UK at the rear exploded with powerful thrust, and the Flying Leopard's graceful figure began to accelerate on the runway, slide and run faster and faster.

The speed has reached 230. Yesterday, I just closed the accelerator and then lightly stepped on the brakes.Today, Huang Bingxin is pulling the lever backward.

Suddenly feeling light in his body, the flying leopard had already soared into the air.

Fly up!All the people below cheered.

The general procedure for the first flight is to take off, go around the airport for a week, and then land without retracting the landing gear. This can minimize the risk of the first flight, especially for a newly developed aircraft. Said, implying various invisible dangers.

The sky was cloudless. After pulling up the nose, Huang Bingxin skillfully kicked the rudder at an altitude of 1000 meters and began to turn left to level off.

"001, please report the situation." The voice of the ground tower came from the headset.

"Everything is normal, ready to enter the second turn." Huang Bingxin said.

The first flight of the new aircraft, so far, everything is going well.

After three turns, the tense test flight will slowly come to an end.

Suddenly, Huang Bingxin felt as if his body was trembling involuntarily. He tried to shake his nervous left hand, and suddenly found that the whole plane was shaking violently!

Tremor!This sporadic situation actually happened during the first flight.

The instrument in front also began to tremble more and more violently. At the same time, the warning light on the dashboard began to flash a terrifying red light.

"Report, the plane trembles and is trying to control it," Huang Bingxin said.

Tremor!The hearts of the people on the ground were seized at once.

This is an extremely dangerous situation. At this time, Huang Bingxin sitting in the plane is even more bumpy than sitting on a tractor on a dirt road in the countryside.

"Pay attention and be ready to parachute at any time." The tower staff said.Airplanes are important, but pilots are even more important.

"I will keep the plane." Huang Bingxin said, he operated the plane and began to descend with difficulty.

Facing the runway, he stepped on the rudder, but heard a bang behind him, and the plane did not respond.
